Bujumbura - Burundi's parliament on Friday approved the revised line-up of the electoral commission after rejecting an earlier proposal last month on the grounds that it was biased in favour of the president.
"The list sent by the president has just been approved by 108 MPs for to four against," Pie Ntavyohanyuma, president of the National Assembly, told reporters.
The commission's five members were also approved by the senate, he said.
On January 20, the senate rejected the proposed commission, arguing that its members had been cherry-picked by President Pierre Nkurunziza, who is widely expected to run for re-election in 2010.
The main opposition party Frodebu said on Friday that it was "satisfied" that its concerns had been addressed in the new line-up.
